I did it! I waited until two different trilogies were out before starting them! This is what can happen when you pay attention.
John Twelve Hawks' third book came out recently, so I'm ready to start The Travelers.
C.C. Finlay's alternate history fantasy trilogy was published using the new trilogy-published-in-a-three-month-span strategy people are trying out. (Brent Weeks' Night Angel Trilogy from Orbit was the first big success story of this kind, I think.) Finlay has multiple degrees in history, and he loves to write, so he decided to combine the two loves, and we have the Traitor to the Crown series as a result.
There are apparently a lot of historically inexplicable things that happened around the Revolutionary War, so Finlay grabbed those and came up with a plausible explanation: there was a magical battle going on behind the scenes of the war with British and American magic users tearing at each other. Kind of fun. The Patriot Witch is the first one, and I'm looking forward to reading it soon.
Any other trilogies published at once that you've taken note of or read? Do you like the idea? Only if it's published in cheapie paperback?
